Win a Sold Out Kit! Favorites from the Vault Giveaway #3

Happy Saturday! We're back with our third and final Favorites from the Vault giveaway opportunity!

During a recent warehouse cleaning session, we were happily surprised to find some hidden treasures -- a handful of past kit items. We gathered every last piece from a few select kits, and now you have a chance to win some SOLD OUT My Monthly Hero kit products!

We may have saved the best for last. You decide...

Who remembers the very FIRST My Monthly Hero kit? The month, October...the year, 2015. Who also remembers how quickly that kit sold out? (Back then, there were no My Monthly Hero subscriptions offered.) The beautiful color layered poinsettias came onto the scene and were a smashing hit right out of the gate -- so much so, that the kit sold out in just a few hours and our website experienced some hiccups due to the heavy traffic. We've learned and grown since then, but will never forget the excitement and joy of that very first kit. It holds a special place in our hearts as we now celebrate the MMH program's 5th anniversary with you.

As the ultimate throwback, today we have 5 sets of stamps and dies from the October 2015 kit to give away to 5 lucky winners!

TO ENTER: Comment on this blog post and let us know one piece of stamping wisdom that you wish you'd known when you started stamping! The entry deadline is Thursday, October 29 at 11:59pm PT. We will announce the 5 randomly chosen winners here on the blog.

Now we get to announce the winners from last weekend's Favorites from the Vault giveaway!

The 5 randomly chosen winners will each receive stamps and dies from the sold out October 2018 kit:

• Stephanie Benoit
• Julia Dvorak
• Mary Gilmer
• Tracy Kent
• Sandy Koca

Congratulations to all! Please send an email to info@heroarts.com to claim your prizes and include "Vault Winner" in the subject line.

Last but not least, we want to remind you that time is running out on our classic kits sale. Celebrate 5 years of My Monthly Hero with $5 off a fabulous selection of classic kits, while supplies last! The sale price ($29.99) is reflected automatically in your shopping cart -- no code needed. This offer expires October 31. Check out all eight of the classic kits on sale here.

Thanks for stopping by and celebrating our anniversary with us. Wishing you a lovely weekend!

Bit of wisdom – don’t be afraid to mess up – sometimes your mess-ups turn out really great in the end. And if it doesn’t you’ll know what not to do next time. Just have fun!

Molly Kremnitzer,

This is a beautiful kit. I don’t remember it, so it must have been before I started getting the kits. I bet you could do that kit again and it would be a sell out. I wouldn’t mind purchasing it. I love flowers to color.

Paulyne VanderSloot,

So adore poinsettias and this pretty kit!
My favorite piece of wisdom I’m so glad I learned is to keep an inventory of my crafting supplies. It only took me a few times of rebuying my favorite stamp or embossing folder or ink (lol) to realize the impartance of inventorying it all!

Vicky Highland,

This is another wonderful Classic Kit! Many of my very first stamps are Hero Arts. When I started, it was a matter of getting stamps whenever I could find them at a price I could afford. I wish now that I had realised the need to be more selective, and only buy stamps that can be widely used for various occasions and designs. Many of my first stamps are still used over and over today as true favourites! Sadly, others have hardly been used at all.

Helen F,

Hello! This giveaway has been so much fun to watch! As for the thing I wish I’d known before I started stamping… it’s so silly, but I didn’t know that you could peel clear cling stamps off of the plastic with the stamped image! I thought you had to cut the stamps apart! facepalm I know so much more now!!
